God bless you. After 29 years of eating Raw and not noticing any changes in how you feel after eating cooked, then you are healed. It’s time to graduate. Follow your heart. I’m still going to continue to support your channel and I thank you for all you have contributed to my life.
exactly. Time to graduate and grow up.
I like that you're 100% honest with what you eat, as opposed to others who may be too embarrassed or too scared of harming their raw business profile by admitting to eating non raw food.
It seems most of the raw foodists are using all sort of supplements and powders which come from factories and aren't raw.
Enjoy your life. Eat by the weather. During the cold months, eat warm food. During the hot months, eat more cooling raw fruits and vegetables.
Is this the same guy that sells the juicers? He is a good dude
Cooked beans, potatoes, corn, sweet potates,carrots, string beans
🌱John, you continue to make my life better! Thank you for always giving & sharing the best wirh us!❤
You ARE allowed to change and shift views in life…this is NORMAL!
People are way too strict on themselves and others and hold unnatural expectations…. Geez lighten up, John’s human, he’s allowed to change his diet, he can change his views based on knowledge and experience over time, that is OKAY!
😊
Don't ever add animal products John you are a warrior
Animals be tastyyyyyy 🤤
@@jeltoninc.8542 real food tastes better
Many people find animal based is by far healthiest and most positively regenerative for our body. And, quality balanced beer also, especially non-pasteurized.
Nothing wrong with a little bit of baked potatoes, rice and pasta to supplement a heavy fruit diet is way easier to build fitness that way, Carbs FTW!! 💪💪💪
yeah, for real man! ur fucked if you only eat salads all day. good luck doing anything in life... people need BALANCE.
He literally explained in this video how the way his body reacts to the raw food diet changed over time. His blood sugar went up a bit more and feeling a bit sleepy after eating a high fruit meal. Also that his triglycerides started going up over time. So he had to make a change. And I guess he found out his microbiome wasn’t optimal either since he is eating to improve that too. And still people are asking why did he change his diet to adding some cooked foods.
I know from my own experience that the way my body reacts to the same foods have changed as I got older and certain foods I can tolerate less of. I know so many people with similar experiences.
Maybe his sugar went up because he wasn't exercising enough.
great answers John ! loved it ! i eat very much like you ! love steamed artichokes and sweet potatoes and mushrooms plus all the raw colorful plants :) i do follow medical medium , i love it,it really works for me and he has super delicious recipes for cooked foods for raw foods, soups ,smoothies,juices and sweets but like you said have more then 1 guru , i do :) But most of all i follow my self how i feel what makes me the healthiest.thanks to you and Gillian Berry i found my favorite juicer NAMA. great juicer podcasts ! thank you so much ! greetings from sweden !
I totally respect your food choices, but I'm just curious if you were actually feeling bad or if it was just the microbiome test that made you add some cooked. It just seems strange that if you felt great and looked great and there were no issues, some human created test wouldn't even interest you. Most of these tests are created for standard dieters, are they not? Seems like maybe waiting for an issue to arise before changing anything would have been better? No judgements of course lol.
Absolutely! My sentiments exactly.
I love cooked beans and whole grain barley, it's my go-to meal. Potatoes, cooked in a slow cooker for 2-5 hours on high, depending on size. A big bean salad: open 3-5 different canned beans, corn, beets, tomatoes tossed with balsamic vinegar and herbs, served with grains.
Does stick blender is better than normal blender in terms of nutrient retention ? Or it is better to buy vacuum which is better and best?
John you are the best .. I don't see anybody on youtube growing their food in the way you do. Experimenting , learning with an open mind.. Having such a diversity.. You bring such a value to us with your knowledge.. To all those 'religious' people I would say- food isn't nutricious as it used to be.. For example one study show that tomatoes have 80 % less of vitamin C than old varieties, 52 % less of lycopine .. almost no trace minerals.. We have to do what we can to ensure our body gets what it needs, within the vegan diet.. I would say most of those people who wrote those comments envy to what level you came.. Keep going.. and improving..
Wow! I love how you said all that!! I was going to comment along those same lines, but you said it perfectly!! 🌱🕊💚
word.
here's something that'll blow your mind -- food doesn't give you energy to begin with. From a Qigong perspective, 80% of energy comes from the air, 10% from sun, and 10% from food. Time to rethink food.
@@swimm3r137 Agree to some extent.. Yet keep in mind that plant food is sun+air+soil too..For example tubers store sun energy in form of starches, chlorophyll absorbs sun light..biophotons in food are photons of light etc.. This planet used to have higher levels of oxygen than it does now.
Have regular sun baths, breathing exercises in the forest, clean water ( water has oxygen in it ), and organic plant food.. I would add to it medicinal plants, as I am plant medicine teacher.. but I get that knowledge about medicinal plants is lost.. incredibly missing in the human diet.
@@wadjeturaeus your talking theory. Im talking experience. There's a massive difference.
😂 thanks for some sanity John! I’ve been veg 30 years, vegan 20 but never fully raw. I’ve needed to make adjustments in my diet throughout my 69 years. All of the finger-pointing is silly. Do your homework, pay attention to how you feel and get bloodwork if you’re feeling “off”. I’ve not used a microwave in 28 years. I do steam-fry on the stove and in the IP but mostly pressure cook with the IP. I also have had to use supplements from time to time. Thanks so much for all of you research and keeping eat real.❤
30 years! 20 years vegan! What's the secret? 3 years for me.
You are brave John. I have had to increase cooked foods… steamed potatoes, steamed vegetables…my organs slowly weren’t responding properly. I got malnutrtioned severely once as well.
Some may understand this… some of it is a certain programming. Raw foods can feel good and address some things. Including enjoying eating… and it can also just lack the heavier macros. Especially when in consistent physical activity.
You have been able to really live the king’s life of the raw ‘system’… with all your efforts. Good work.
I am currently making a video examining nourishment, cleansing and all that lies between that. And to help people be able to identify their own best eating choices holistically…
It’s ok. It really is.
Hope things are good for you. Take care. Thank you.
I'm so glad you pointed out that you didn't want to be a dogmatic Raw foodist & I AGREE.... God made four seasons for a reason😅
I'm not going to have a watermelon slush when it's 28° and snowing and raining outside...
Common SENSE✅
CANT APPRECIATE RAW FOODIST PEOPLE THAT MAKE IT A RELIGION AND CHASTISE OTHERS THAT DON'T STICK TO A 100% RAW DIET.
I LIKE TO FOLLOW THE COUPLE THAT HAVE THE THREE KIDS THAT THEY STAY RAW TILL 4:00 PM ✅
STEAMED BAKED SWEET POTATOE...& STEAMED BROCRILLI PLUS LENTIL SOUP IN WINTER IS WONDERFUL
🙏😛👍
Thanks so much. I’m always learning from you and others.
Aloha John,
I wanted to say in the past year, I have noticed that you have become more attractive since adding minimally processed plants, physically and emotionally. Your energy keeps getting better and better. Sending love and support your way! Thank you for all the effort and love you give to the world.
I used to see you at various raw potlucks in No. CA about 20 years ago. You then and now eat better and contribute more than 99.5 % of humanity, cooked and/or raw!!
I agree with you 100%, John. And I hope little Oakley is ok.
I think the best argument is to tackle the world issues that plague us now and in the foreciming future of the ever-growing population, is to transition the majority of the populace to a plant based diet, reducing and replacing animal based farming operations into more sustainable and plant based systems which will be better long term for the planet and for the billions without adequate food. Many would benefit regardless of having a high raw diet if they find it easy and accessible, getting high quality raw food can be challenging in some environments.
I'd like to see some studies and technical innovations that can heat process food to access the nutrients at a temperature that keeps the nutrients or even amplifies the bioavailability of certain nutrients. Air frying and roasting at high temperatures seems counterproductive. I prefer slow cooking and pressure cooking, additionally, sprouting, fermenting and blending can provide more benefits by reducing anti-nutrients and increasing specific medicinal compounds e.g. prebiotics.
I recommend 0 mins on steam using the instant pot or any pressure cooker with a steam feature. My problem is not having more responsibility of growing my own food, I tend to get lazy and rely on local suppliers. Hope to get some tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and herbs this year along with sprouting some beans as inspired by Doug Evans.
Good point on advising people to raise their own animals and killing them without the disconnect of the process of the reality of having to kill another being. I do not have the heart to take a life, though if one does, then at least have the courage to do it and be honest if it aligns with your character, beliefs and morals.
Thank you John.
Each to their own but I’d rather eat one animal than to be party to destroying entire ecosystems for mono cropping, it seems so much more destructive.. Lierre Keith really opened my eyes to how bad veganism is.. and Dr Anthony Chafee is a brilliant authority on the health benefits of eating meat.. they both made me do a total 180 regarding species appropriate diets. Wish I’d known about this 30 years ago !
@@josephinehenry8236Chaffee got destroyed recently in a debate, he's an absolute moron and you can see it in his face.
just because mono cropping isn't ideal doesn't mean eat meat lol
bio diverse crops is optimal of course, but good luck with your psychopathic, unhealthy, needless diet of dead animals
Hi John, I eat pretty much like you. Just one question;
I have followed you on and off for years and remember you always raving on how healthy and good you felt all these years. You always had great energy and vibrance. Why did you feel the need to make a change to your eating habits? Normally one changes when health is compromised, for ecological reasons or care for animals, etc... I have not followed you all the time and you may have mentioned it in the past. It sounds like microbiome is almost a new religion or obsession with you. Based on what I remember of you years back, I would not have though you needed to alter your eating habits. Just curious, no criticism whatsoever. Thanks
I’m a vegan and I must say….. true that cooking reduces nutrients in most foods but I don’t agree with the belief that raw foods are FULL of the life force and therefore should be eaten raw for this reason. People……as soon as they are plucked or cut from the earth they are officially dead. It’s all “dead” food that we’re eating unless we’re chewing on it while still attached to the earth. In the end it’s all about what makes us feel better, energized, and healthier. Love your videos John and all of your evolving info. God bless you. 🙏🫶🏼
I noticed that you don't have any or much gray hair. Many people are struggling at your age, so you're obviously doing something right.

Off topic; When are u going again to Leaphs house?
What does your buddy, Markus Rothankranz, think about you eating cooked food now?
John, much respect. You follow the science and your own experience.
From time to time I would say to my partner that I believe that you might have the greatest Microbiome on the planet!
Strangely and coincidentally he decided to get a test, the same test you used! I know this because I saw your video about it and I saw your results.
An incredibly in the diversity score (and just that one score and there were many others), his was about 10 points higher than yours 😮!
My partner was eating little to no raw food, and he also eats frozen meals of various kinds and cooks some vegetables.
He doesn’t eat much meat but he does eat some. So he doesn’t try to be perfect by any means, although it’s a lot better than the standard American diet having almost no dairy, no fried food, no junk, No alcohol.
The test you both used just takes a sample from one swipe, literally. The one fromGenova Labs as another example, is a lot more expensive and extensive, and you have to mix up your whole stool of that morning with a stick. They want to get stool from as much area of your gut as possible.
But it was a very funny story for me because for so many years you were always the person I thought would have the most diversity ever. And I’m not saying you don’t,because I think it would take perhaps some more careful scientific study and a number of tests from different labs.
Still it was really ironic, and here you are eating some cooked food. More power to you, you look great, and sound great.
Thank you for your amazing videos and inspiration over the years. Best of luck!❤ ❤
Do you have any video about pressing your own oils?
yes. ua-cam.com/video/FuxdMsFk4AU/v-deo.html
John thanks for your candid talks… even though I follow a lot of raw vegan channels I have never been drawn to hard fast rules in general …there are plenty of people in the world who do not eat fully raw and are healthy and live long lives…
Everyone has their 2 cents to put in and some people take it to the extreme…
Why can’t people just do what they feel is best for themselves and let everyone else live the way they see fit for themselves… live and let live.
You don’t have to agree with everyone on everything.
There is a certain raw vegan influencer online who promotes an extreme raw vegan diet, albeit healthy BUT he says ABSOLUTELY NO cooked foods… no ifs ands or buts… in my view that seems a bit extreme and doesn’t resonate with me.
I do really good with fruit
It would be good if John's critics include how old they are and how many decades they've been 100% raw to comment.
Good afternoon John 😊
Thanks John
Appreciate your honest commentaries
Peace ✌️

Hey John, one more comment; I believe Ayurvedic medicine mentions the importance of eating cooked food within 1-2 hours of being cooked for optimal nutritional benefits. Just like the method used to cook matters , apparently so does how quickly we eat it after being altered by heat. Leftover cook food is much much less beneficial as time goes by. I guess it makes sense, just like juicing and drinking quickly rather than waiting hours or days. That is not often looked at as it is quite inconvenient, if there is any truth to it.
Low temperature cooked potatoes are great.
Shout out from Philippines❤
What hmo supplement do u take ?!?!
It makes a lot of sense to me that we should make more available options of plant based foods, and cooked foods are definitely part of it. Raw fruits are still very healthy too, but it is way less sustainable to rely on fruits only.
I combine the teachings of Medical Medium and Dr. John McDougall. Dr. MacDougall's book : The Starch Solution helped me to sort this situation out.😊
Well. What do you eat every day lvciddd
Eat whatever feels good for yourself!!!🥰
Arnold Ereht had an opinion about raw foods. I think is better to eat cocked cabage than bunch of raw nuts
Thx john
I think the question people have to ask themselves is... Am i prepared to eat raw for the rest of my life? If its a no then its time revaluate your intentions going foward. Is it a short term philosophy that will transition back to cooked foods or what? Just things to mull over to find out what suits you best.
Eating raw foods doesn't work for me. My body cannot digest it. I had to go to soups and stews. I think nutrient absorption isn't too hot with raw veggies.
With many foods when cooked the nutrition is more absorbable . No question about it.
olive oil is a top tier processed food 2tbsp a day for me

You are amazing!
Thanks John for following SCIENCE and what works for you. Love your passion and great information. ❤

I never understand why people need to judge others for their food choices. Vegan, raw, vegetarian, pescatarian, breatharian, carnivore, eat whatever you feel your body needs and wants. In most health issues, processed foods are the problem, second comes fat + sugars mix causing gain weight for most people. Just eat whole foods (plant, carnivore, whatever you want), get out in sun and move and you will be healthy. As simple as that.
Very fair way of looking at this, thank you for sharing your opinion.
People who eat a lot of fruit and want to know it’s effect on blood sugar can check their AIC, a lab test which will give you your average blood sugar reading over the past 3 months. It costs 30 dollars for the test. Then they can also get a 10 dollar glucose sensor and some strips. Then one can KNOW. Fruit is a combo of fructose, sucrose, and glucose. A mango for example has 3 x’s more sucrose than fructose.
The blood sugar will spike but if you do ten minutes of burst exercise blood glucose can drop 50 or more points. 🌺
I can’t consume smoothies or drink a lot of fruit juice from my Nama on a daily basis. The weight gain and bloat is out of control. What works for me is tea. I make a superfoods fruit tea and a vegetable superfood tea in the evening. That works for me, finally. Keep eating what feels best your health. This is a great topic.
You look just like Jerry Mathers of Leave it to Beaver fame.
I love this lvciddd
Why not eat raw egg yolks that you produce yourself? And maybe crickets like cricket powder?

Hello

So David Norman had another stroke that killed him? When?
Eating all raw for 29 years is amazing! I know you eat high quality foods, a lot you grow yourself. Adding in some super healthy cooked food sounds like it will round out your nutritional intake. You’ll look youthful and feel great for decades to come.
Interesting information and ideas. But why would you respect someone who is able to raise an animal basically like a pet and then slit its throat and eat it? I think that behavior is potentially more psychopathic and worse than being a hypocrite buying meat in shops and pretending that the horror isn't happening. I respect people who take an honest look at the whole thing and realise how awful and unnecessary it is and decide to take an other route to self suffiency.
Diabetes loves vegans!
No vegans have lower diabetes. Diabetes is caused by too much dietary and bodily fat.
I felt the best when eating raw leafcutter ants. They are all over the place, but it still takes a lot of time to harvest them. Probably the closest to other primates one can get. Hard to be sure that they are clean too. I thought about farming them or some other insect like crickets or termites but I'm yet to succeed.
I don’t think cooking evolved humanity. It takes an already intelligent brain to master fire, and early humans would have 100% thrown food into dry heat and caused cancerous acrylamides or heterocyclic amine ladened foods. Either way do you, I eat cooked foods as I’m more of an ehretist, but when I do 100% raw that’s when I feel most in tune and high vibration. Fire has not been a net benefit for humans as a whole and its lead to species confusion, widespread eating of animals, processed foods and adding chemicals to our foods. Without cooked foods, people come to their senses, without being lead by the aftermath of the stove. Either way, love your content and enjoy learning from you.
It really does not take much brain to master fire, but even if we already had a lot of intelligence, cooking gave us access to a lot more calories from foods that could not be eaten before. More people surviving, more social skills, more intelligence, and so on.
@@carinaekstrom1 really? Why don’t you think generating and harnessing fire takes much intelligence?
@@fruitkid4759 You don't have to generate it to use it. Just get a small piece of what nature started, bring it with you and keep it alive for as long as you can. Or do what some birds are thought to be doing: Get a smoldering piece of wood and set fire to a new area to flush out prey. Maybe hominids saw birds do this and learned, or maybe the other way around, birds learning from hominids.
We started flourishing as a culture when we started cultivating starches. Which means cooking.

Hi John long long time viewer, 6 months ago I went carnivore and have noticed incredible health improvements, it's not too late jump on it. All fresh produce on Australian supermarkets shelves are poisioned with chemicals, I have heard vegans/vegetarians have the highest glyphosate levels! So much for being healthy, let alone the carb sugar bumps, all carbs become sugar once digested, so how can eating sugar all day be healthy?
Sugar from fruits is healthy..
29 yrs without a burger. I think thats banned by the Geneva convention.

Thanks for your rationale! I will NOW use the SAME rationale and call myself a VEGAN. I am a vegan who also eats meat and dairy. I can now be self-righteous and join the rest of the militant self-righteous community while also doing what I want which is eating corpses and chicken periods along with the nonmobile green lives, tree embryos, and fungi penile glans because it makes me feel better. I only eat the properly raised and homed or wild animals I need to improve my microbiome, I eat whole animals by supplementing with organs, bone, and marrow in pill form, I found MY studies that prove meat and dairy are good for you, long living Okinawans eat a lot of PORK, AND I have slit the throat of and processed my own turkey which felt equal to how it feels when I take the lives of the unvoiced plants and slugs in my food forest. But that's me, the rest of you don't have to follow suit. You can find your own studies that prove your biases. You do you lol.
If you eat some animal products - you're plant based. Not vegan, so simple.
Now if you only introduced animal foods back into your diet, you could really start healing.
Not true. :D
20:58 raw foodist arent always vegans which is why a lot of them go back to meat
